Take the 100-mile challenge
A statewide challenge to knock out 100 miles of hiking, walking, running, paddling, skating, horseback riding or rolling a wheelchair in North Carolina aims to get people enjoying N.C. natural beauty and improving their health.
The 100-Mile Challenge comes from North Carolina State Parks and Governor Pat McCrory, with a new website launched to sign up participants and help them track their miles. At www.nc100miles.org, users can earn digital badges along the way to their 100 miles by exploring state parks, participating in events and reaching mileage milestones.
“Nothing compares to North Carolina's natural beauty, state parks and hiking trails," McCrory said. "I am proud that together, our state passed the Connect N.C. bond package this year that will invest in our parks for future generations.”
The challenge is part of the Hike NC! Program with Blue Cross and Blue Shield of North Carolina, a series of more than 60 hikes that launched this fall.
